If you graduated in 2009, you got screwed. I'm sorry.

  Don't I know it. I hustled and cold fedexed a CEO of a synthetic biology company and got an interview in July of 08. He said he needed 30 days to get back to me to see if there was money for me and suggested that I work towards someday being a CEO of my own. I knew a crash was coming because I'd just started looking into Chris Martinson's crash course, and I knew bear stearns was just the start... I remember telling my dad to liquidate all of his stock take the capital gains hit and buy back in at the bottom (he didn't)... On day 29 the market went down 10%. I got radio silence on the other end about the job.
